I Have This Quote Book.....

My favorite quotes. They used to just be written on slips of paper and shoved in a jar under my bed. Then when I went to college, I found this groovy book in the bookstore. It was gold with "Egytian" hyroglyphics all over it. I decided it would be my "quote book". I took out the jar with the slips of paper, and transferred all of them into it. And for 12 years, everytime I hear something I think is worthy, I whip out my quote book, and furiously start writing!
I love this book. I don't care how obvious or silly some of the quotes seem now, I remember how they spoke to me at the time they were entered. Some are profound. Some are funny. Some breathed hope into what I perceived as hopeless. Some are just things I wish I'd have said.
